WWF: Meet the people protecting nature

View this email in your browser MEET THE RANGERS OF CAMBODIA Standing firm against the growing pressures Han Sakhan has been away from home for more than a week now. He is unwilling to leave the forests, concerned that there will be one less person to protect it. He knows unwanted visitors are here every day. Poachers and illegal loggers are rampant, and form part of wildlife crime networks in the region that are leaving an insidious trail of destruction in the largest intact dry and mixed forests of the Greater Mekong region, known as the Eastern Plains Landscape. READ THE REST OF HAN'S STORY Share Tweet Forward PROTECTING THE VAQUITA With the help of Leonardo DiCaprio Earlier this month, the Government of Mexico, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and the Carlos Slim Foundation signed an agreement to support emergency measures to conserve the critically endangered vaquita porpoise. However, just this week UNESCO said it is considering putting the Gulf of California on the "in danger list" in July due to the current critical situation with the vaquita. Let the Mexican government know that the world is waiting for them to take action for the vaquita. JOIN THOSE PROTECTING THE VAQUITA Share Tweet Forward ASIAN ELEPHANTS ARE IN CRISIS Help keep them safe with anti-poaching squads Poaching rates have already surpassed the yearly average with 20 elephants found skinned since the beginning of 2017. Current rangers lack training and are ill-equipped to stand up to the poachers, who are armed and backed by criminal networks, but with your help, we can train and deploy up to 10 ranger teams while working with the Myanmar government.  HELP SAVE OUR ELEPHANTS Together we're stronger.
